Messenger Lite

Messenger Lite – the company Facebook continues to delight its users with mobile clients that make communication on the popular social network much more accessible and easier. This small utility is a lightweight version of the Facebook Messenger application, which saves RAM and is suitable for even the weakest budget Android mobile devices with low performance and operating systems starting from version 2.3 (Gingerbread) and higher. The functionality of the Lite version is in no way inferior to the standard features of its older brother – convenient communication with users in group chats or in a tête-à-tête format, the use of emoticons and stickers, sending photos and short videos.

Many users may have a quite reasonable question – what is this lightweight client created for, if it is able to do all the same? The fact is that the main purpose of this program is to work in the background, in other words, the user accesses it only after receiving a notification about the activity that has begun in the group chat or the arrival of a new message. The utility can inform about this by sound signals, turning on the display or vibration – this depends on the settings specified by the user in the program.

Due to the fact that Messenger Lite functions most of the time in the background, it perfectly saves the resources of a mobile gadget, allowing you to join in communication only when it is really appropriate. It’s no secret that the official full-fledged Facebook client is rather bulky and gladly “absorbs” the lion’s share of the device’s RAM, which can be very critical for budget devices.

Also, Messenger Lite should be the choice for those people whose Internet speed and stability leaves much to be desired – it’s no secret that high-speed Internet is not available in all parts of the world, many people still, to Unfortunately, you have to use slow 2G or 3G. With frequent disconnections, messages sent by the user will go away automatically as soon as the connection speed allows it.

With all the advantages, the client is not without its shortcomings – users complain about a poorly developed search algorithm for contacts and not always correct integration with a full-fledged Facebook program, they also quite often fail notifications, showing up when there is no need. Therefore, if things are more or less normal with the Internet in the region of your residence, and you are not using an antediluvian mobile gadget, then it is still better to pay attention to a full-fledged Messenger.
